FREE DENTAL SCREENINGS FEB. 7 FOR GIVE KIDS A SMILE DAY

Wed January 29, 2014

The DuPage County Health Department's dental clinic will be participating in the American Dental Association's 12th annual "Give Kids A Smile Day" by offering free dental screenings to children aged 1-18 on Friday, February 7, 2014 from 9am-3:30pm.

The free dental screenings will be offered in the Health Department's Smile Squad, a state of the art mobile dental clinic that travels throughout DuPage County serving children who need dental services.

This event will take place at two locations in the county:

· DuPage Children's Museum-301 N. Washington St. Naperville

· DuPage County Health Department-111 N. County Farm Rd. Wheaton

Patients who receive free services at the Children's Museum location will also receive a coupon to enjoy the museum after their screening or at a later date. (good for one adult admission with one paid child admission).

This event is part of the national "Give Kids A Smile Day" sponsored by the American Dental Association (ADA). The ADA began the Give Kids A Smile program in 2003 as a way for dentists to join with others in the community to provide dental services to under-served children. Dentists and other team members volunteer their time, and services, to provide screenings, treatments and education to children throughout the United States.
